1/364

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to documenting 2011 through a pictorial daily diary on a Project 365. If you’re a new visitor to my little place in cyber space, please feel free to take a look around.

You will find my photographs are not always consistent. I have days in which I can take 100s of photos and I am pleased with each of them. Often getting false thoughts, thinking I have mastered this thing called photography. On other days I can take 100s of photos, upload them, and as I start to viewing, I find myself wondering if my camera was even at the same location I was.

I started thinking about what I should post as my first photo, I wanted a photo of my husband and I, in a warm embrace, with lots of Christmas tree bokeh in the background. What I had in my minds eye and what I actually photographed were in fact two different images. It is a bit over exposed and to my disappointment, no bokeh. My current lens stops at f/5.6. I am happy to report I did order a new lens, a 60mm f/2.0!! As a result of the poor image, I tried another idea and again I am disappointed with the result.

I promise I will continue with the project, I just can’t promise you’ll be viewing a “professional” type image. Please critique, any and all comments are always welcome. My hope is to learn about and to improve my photographs while undertaking this project.

Beautiful!I have to ask though, did you take this picture at midnight and already have it uploaded or did you set your watch ahead and take it earlier?I uploaded one at 11:50 just so I could have one in before the new year and technically start at 0/365(instead of 1/365...because in my world, the number line starts at 0...lol)
